2008 NFL Season predictions

AFC

North
Cleveland Browns – The pieces are in place for them to make a run. Their defense will need to step up to make them contenders for the Super Bowl.
South

Indianapolis Colts – The Colts are loaded on offense and defense. Marvin Harrison is entering the twilight of his career, but Reggie Wayne and Anthony Gonzalez are more than capable.

East

New England – I think that Brady and company can keep the magic alive. They won’t go undefeated again, but they’re the best in this division.

West

Denver Broncos – Jay Cutler will lead this team to the playoffs. Selvin Young looks like he will be the next Bronco tailback to go over 1000 yards.

Wildcards

Houston Texans, Pittsburgh Steelers – The Texans make their first appearance in the playoffs and the Steelers recapture their old form with Mike Tomlin at the helm.

NFC

North

Green Bay Packers – They’re the best of the worst. Aaron Rodgers has huge shoes to fill, but he has a solid offense around him and a defense that is poised to win now.

South

New Orleans Saints – Drew Brees has a go to receiver in Jeremy Shockey. They still have Marques Colston, and Reggie Bush. They look good this year.

East

New York Giants – Hard to pick against the reigning Super Bowl Champs. I think this will be the tightest division in football this year. The Redskins are really the only team that doesn’t have a chance at this division.

West

Seattle Seahawks – Another case of the best of the worst. Julius Jones in at running back will help the offense, the big question mark is still the offensive line.

Wildcards

Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears – I think that Dallas is a train wreck waiting to happen but they have a ton of talent. If they can all keep their heads on straight they’ll be a force in the playoffs. The Bears truly are a wildcard. Their defense is still among the best in the league. If Kyle Orton can work some magic (without any real threats at receiver) or Matt Forte can come in and be a dependable back they might climb into the playoffs. A weak NFC North schedule helps.
